I don’t understand humanity. I don’t understand how someone can find glee in torturing a living creature, and then get so little retribution for it.
It's scary to think that these 'good ol boys' used to do this to their slaves back when America was "great."
The flag in that guy’s background should explain a lot of that. Not everything, but a lot.

Some are put into sex trafficking. This world is seriously sick.
THIS!!!! ALL OF THIS!!!

i really really wish i had never heard of this. this shit will send me back into the deepest pit of depression
I remember this from a little bit ago.
One of the best jobs I’ve ever had has been working in an animal shelter. Being around so many loving dogs and cats has been a huge boost to my mental health, but I’ve seen my fair share of instances where an animal is put through traumatic abuse and/or just abandoned.
We had a dog dropped on our doorstep a couple weeks ago by people that claimed they found him running around downtown. He was dirty, had sores on one of his legs and in his ears, and he drank three bowls of water so fast he threw up. We have to call animal control in these situations, and the person who came to get him told us his personality didn’t line up with the narrative he was a stray. They said most likely he’d been isolated in a room stuck with his own pee and poop.
They got him checked out by a vet and was given a clean bill of health, we lined up a foster home for him, and has been doing so well there that he’ll most likely get adopted by his fosters. A happy ending in this case, but the way some people treat animals is sickening and evil. Nothing amusing about torturing animals, period.
Shouldn't you as a person with experience in rescue know to limit water for a little while when they inhale the first bowl? I would get it if you didn't have "experience" but like... vomiting is going to do more harm than having the dog wait another hour or two for another bowl of water. That isn't something to be proud of.
@@inkynewt So you glossed over the entire point of the comment to come at me over part of a single sentence. I never said “I”, I said “We”. And you’re right, it was a case of inexperience. But the dog is healthy, and that’s what matters most.
@@CJCarter22 I don't feel a need to argue with the statement of the comment. I do, however, feel like it's within my prerogative to comment on uncritical self-congratulations surrounding bad care.
@@inkynewt I shared a story about animal abuse to contribute to the conversation about how unacceptable that behaviour is, not to pat myself on the back, and certainly not to defend myself and my coworkers from what a complete stranger on the internet thinks about the work we do. You take care, I’m gonna go back to caring for my animals.
@@CJCarter22 Okay, then don't defend the fact that your rescue allows inexperienced people to do work without oversight that could result in the harm of an animal /shrug
The first story made me cry. How are people so cruel?????
Have you seen what we do to children??? The human race is dogshit.
I think the same but for farm animals… eating meat is so cruel
@@PersianPrincess55 its have different motivation tho, i know from like 5 years ago when i researched this that its fueled by subtle racism.
the ppl who tend to enjoy torment monkey are often ppl who dream about doing the same to some group of people typically black but others sometimes.
animal torment in general however have a more anti-social if i can't do that to ppl might as well try it on animal but monkey torment tend to be more focused on specific group.
Pulling a gun on someone for giving a discount. Get me off this planet lmao.
It's not about the discount. It's about who gave him the discount.
This afternoon, I saw a nearly freak out because there weren't pickles on her burger. The two people with her talked her down and pointed out she could ask for pickles but she said no and insisted on like, hate eating it without. She glared the whole time.

I was a part of a group that sought to take down small animal torture videos from UA-cam. It's almost impossible. UA-cam does not care, and the people in the comments on those videos made me wish I couldn't read.
How is it not illegal to own any kind of torture videos?
I don't understand why you bother.
Have you never heard of
Watch People Di3.
Best g0r.
Real world tv
World video?
These are all no rules sites all hosting hundreds of thousands of videos.
Nothing you do here stops the source or means a damn thing.
It's fucked up, but it's a total wasted effort.

A hug to the editor. As a tech guy, i know what the grind is like. You're a person worthy of love.
This is the first Philip Defranco to ever make me cry... I consistently can't believe the horrible nature of "Human Beings" seeing how big of a contrast there is between saviors and villains there is when it comes to innocents weather human or animal. My heart breaks for every creature submitted to the terror and cruelty capable of man.
Humans are the worst.
seriously I sat down to eat lunch and instead cried for 5 minutes straight
@DruNature
I'm numb, but I'm grateful for you because I'm worried no one cares. You care, and that matters more than you may realize.
If everyone had your compassion, I know there would be less of this horrible behavior.
Your compassion and empathy are what keep your area of influence in a better condition.
Take good care of yourselves because you are worth it.
🌞
what about other people like the ongoing genocide? that doesn't make you cry?
@@uraaliceDid they say it didn’t? People are allowed to find more than one action as despicable. If you can’t see that, that’s a you problem.
Regarding the Global Monkey Torture, it should be along the same lines as CP. If you possess it or make it, you should be jailed for it.
And should cost 100,000 cash that you need to pay
there are actually some theories that talk about how some of these sickos may be using monkeys as a substitute for children. like on a psychological level, as in theyre projecting the idea of a child onto the monkey since theyre the closest association we can make to modern day humans. its almost like, to them, its a “more acceptable” offense. but i havent looked too far into it. regardless of how true that is, the whole idea of any animal torture for enjoyment is vile.
Agreed
Unfortunately CP is often not punished nearly enough as well. Weed gets you in more trouble in most states.
What about veal
I have a nomination for BAMF for an upcoming show.
A 15 year old, Jenna Newcomb, died protecting her sister and her friend when an absolute monster was on a murder spree in Rockford, IL on 3/27/24. Keith Fahrney is a BAMF who was driving and stopped to help another victim. He allowed police to catch the perpetrator. It’s a heartbreaking story, but these people deserve a BAMF of the Day more than almost anyone I can think of 💙
Agreed!! 💜😔
😥❤️
I'm gonna comment in the hopes your comment is seen.
@@tearainey1 thank you so much!!!
If the murderer was in Texas he would've gotten the death penalty.
Taiwanese guy here, I'm a bit late to the party, but I really appreciate your coverage of the earthquake! The damage on the eastern side of the island was a a lot more extensive than where my family is, but from what i've heard, repairs and rescue efforts are making steady progress. It's encouraging to hear support from around the world, and hopefully the situation will be resolved soon.
So I was 600lbs and struggling to lose weight. I went viral on TikTok and even appeared in person to share my journey on the Kelly Clarkson show. It took me a long time to find out what was true or not with diet and what actually works for me. During the period I was trying to learn I did fall for the traps companies had in place for me to eat their unhealthy food. Though I still have a lot to lose I am glad I learned what works. Just wish the fat shaming that’s disguised as “I’m just motivating you” would stop.
I'm a domino's delivery driver. The amount of people who get uncontrollably angry when offered discounts is staggering. I also worked 5 years as a grocery store cashier. I've seen (mostly over 55) old people scream, cuss and sometimes cry when offered discounts. It's like some weird insult to offer discounts to these people.
I was being kind, Karen. I wasn't implying that you were too cheap. I was giving you a gift. Holy hell.
That’s a wild mentality to have. “Here is a discount.” Like literally giving you free money here, and the response to that is “FUCK YOU IM NOT POOR!”
Major projection going on here.
It's insane. Everyone likes Saving money! Wtf.
This is insane behavior, I don’t get it at all
I assume that for some it's less about being perceived as poor as it is about having an extremely rigid mentality and being unable to adjust to any kind of changes at all. They calculated how much they owed beforehand, and you offering a discount last minute threw that off. For a well-adjusted person that would be a tiny mental blip, a second of "Oh... ah! Thanks!" as they recalculated. But some people just cannot deviate from their initial plans at all, or it'll cause meltdowns. Psychological inflexibility is a symptom of many mental illnesses and also substance abuse. Cognitive decline can also exacerbate these tendencies if, as you say, it's mostly older folks having this issue.
@@pyrrhicvictoly Thx for that view point, i immediatly assumed it was an ego thing, but your description seem to fit so much better. Although i think i'd also add 2 possible factors, 1) the possible bias of the individual, like in the case of the white man using racial slurs agaisnt a black employe he's threatening, and 2) the unsolved struggles of the individual, i,e someones who's already tense or with a lot of his plate, using any excuse to empty his bag onto innocent passerby's. I lived with a guy like that once, who burst in rage over stupidly little things, and then once we talked him out of his rage, we'd realise that he felt wronged throughout the day but didnt talk about it, sometimes he was even right to feel wronged. But since he never learned to speak up, it alwas festers into an uncontrolable anger towards everyone. He made some big progress with this btw.
throwing racial slurs and threatening to shoot someone over discounted food is beyond me. I knew people can get mad over anything and everything... but this??
Maybe it’s a mental health thing. In populations I’ve dealt with that experience paranoia, something like that could set them off. He may have feared he was being hoodwinked or set up for imprisonment or something, for not paying the *right* amount.
(Not excusing his behavior, just trying to figure out what’s up.)
@AmaraJordanMusic if you are that paranoid that you threaten someone's life. Then you shouldn't be allowed weapons or allowed in public without supervision
@@AmaraJordanMusic Paranoid or not, I'd rather be in trouble for potentially not paying a few dollars than being involved in a premeditated hate crime with a weapon (and I say premeditated only because he left and came back, instead of just staying gone and obviously not doing the crime).
@@AmaraJordanMusiceven if this was the case… it doesn’t excuse his behavior.
@@AmaraJordanMusic not only is that not an excuse, but whether that's the case or not it just further emphasizes our need for stricter gun control. like, this guy shouldn't have a gun to threaten people with in the first place.
Phil I've been watching you since I was a freshmen in high-school! I'm now 23 and I work at a 3rd party contracting company. You're outlook on life and the way you approach the worlds horrors makes the news digestible & hopeful! Thank you for being a role model to a girl who grew up in a broken home & who now has a great life with a happy home. Us viewers really do appreciate and value your work.
I have a friend living in Taiwan. They have an earth quake museum there that's built on the site of a school that collapsed in a large earth quake. A lot of their earth quake technology came from wanting to stop such a tragedy from happening again.
I am always a little scared that she's going to get hurt in an earth quake, and the 14 hour time difference always makes waiting for a reply back from her tough. She's safe and unharmed.
As a big girl myself, I understand not wanting diet culture to be shoved down your throat. I grew up seeing celebrities that were a size 6 being told they were fat, and I spent a majority of my high school years doing 100 sit-ups a day to get that perfectly flat hot celeb stomach. But calling Cocoa Puffs “healthy” is absolutely wild. Sure I’ll eat some ice cream every couple of weeks but I can acknowledge there’s no nutritional value in a scoop of Ben and Jerry’s.
for real. if I could afford my ideal diet, I'd have washboard abs. but I'm not looking at the unhealthy shit I eat as good for me. every bad meal I know this its going to cost me later. so I boil it down to gives and takes. while trying my absolute best to have more gives than takes. my health isn't going to improve with age, I have to lay the foundations now.
When lifes shitting on you, Ben and Jerry's hits ya in the soul.
This. I am SO happy that my nutritionist is more worried about important numbers (Sugar blood, triglicerids, cholesterol) than about my weight because i helps a lot to my mindset about food. Which is now "yeah, there are foods that are bad for those REALLY important numbers and taste good" and I should be careful not to over eat those. I love my chocolate, but it's a sometimes food. Not an every day food.
This. I’ve always been bigger too. I have learned that dieting doesn’t work for me because every time I’ve tried, I fall into a cycle of obsession to the point that I start keeping journals to document every tiny bit that goes in my mouth and I start obsessing over the calories, fat, sugar, and every other number I can squeeze out.
So I have to just limit sweets (that’s my weakness) and rethink what I eat.
There is absolutely nutritional value to Ben and Jerry's. Calcium, vitamins, but also massive amounts of sugar lol
... I'm not saying eat it a lot... I'm just saying there is SOME nutritional value.. Like a teeny tiny bit
My local BK told me about a breakfast deal. I was grateful. I partake twice a month..
Folks, please recognize that our face-to-face employees DO NOT decide policy. It's nothng personal, they are just trying to make a living. THEY are US, stand with them. Please? Pretty please?
Well that guy was probably white power no one does that if they’re sound of mind
No amount of reasoning can stop unhinged racism fueled paranoia.
"Why's this N* giving me a discount? He thinks that *I* need a discount!? From *him*? How dare he. He's standing there all smug laughing. I'm going to come back and teach him not to disrespect me."
I was convinced by the pretty please
Also, why are we losing our minds over SAVING MONEY? 🙃
STILL . . . IN 2024, WE HAVE BLURRY CAMERA FOOTAGE [ SIGH ]
I am anti diet. It has taken me 8 years to lose 150lbs, but I did it by changing my lifestyle. I was fat shamed, a new doctor suggested in our first meeting that I would benefit from gastric bypass surgery. She had not read my extensive medical file, nor did she ask me about my typical diet, which at the time was averaging 500 calories per day due to having no appetite for several years. Society and corporate greed may be trying to stop fat shaming, but the medical community is not. Some of us have medical issues, not eating issues, but we're all lumped together.
Ugh same! I had severe endometriosis, including in my bowels, which slowed my metabolism down to the point where i could only lose weight by eating 700 calories or less a day. Drs basically ignored it, gaslit me, told me over and over it was my diet. Despite me going to a dietician and them telling me I was in eating disorder territory and wasn’t eating ENOUGH. I’ve finally gotten surgery (hysterectomy and removal of endometrial tissues) and I’ve started losing the weight. I didn’t go on a diet at all (I eat very balanced anyway) and I started a really chill walking exercise routine that I enjoy doing with my dogs (like approximately 8-10,000 steps a day). I’m happier and feel so much better now. In the end, after the surgery, it’s been about treating myself kindly and like a human being.
Thank u for that perspective :)
Be pro diet-the noun, be anti diet-the verb.
It’s literally IMPOSSIBLE to be 150lbs overweight on 500kcals a day.
@@inevitableveganfuture3915 i mean, it it is possible to be 150lbs overweight and eating 500 kcal/day, but only very briefly. tbh, i never take people who say that they're eating
I put my phone down for a month with strangers and it was the best experience EVER. We went out and did things, hung out at each other's homes and played cards(Spades is my JAM!) and barbecued or made pot luck 3 nights a week, sometimes 5. It was so life changing. HIGHLY recommend getting out and actually M MAKING some friends! We need each other and my brain... it's better than ANY drug or screen... it felt alive again.
omg that monkey story is horrific. Humans can be truly evil. They should be punished by having the things they did to monkeys done to them.
This 100%!
@@4Xissues i think your bot went rogue lmao
AGREED.
Lol. This is almost exactly the comment I just made before I saw yours, though I may have been a bit more... um... colorful. But yeah, this.
I wish PETA focused on vigilante justice towards animal abusers instead of being vegan loons screaming down fast food restaurants.
I used to work at Tim Horton's(coffee shop) on a native reserve. I still remember a time when a customer came in the drive thru and told me they had status. They weren't one of my regular's so I had asked for their card as I could have been fired and fined if I didn't see the card. The customer had been so pissed that I dared to ask that, they had thrown their HOT coffee at me, trying to burn my face.
So hearing a man pulled a gun on a fast food worker isn't really shocking to me, or the fact that the worker was so chill. Fast food/ customer service worker's getting abused and threatened is just so common...it's just depressing.
I dont get it all. Like just bc youre behind the counter youre somehow not human? You have no feelings and cant really feel pain? I Think alot of those have not worked those kind of jobs but i just dont see how you wouldnt still be Nice to them. Like my mom has worked in the Industry and she always told me to be kind to those who work there bc theyre just workers and they dont drive everything. Also i Think some of those people wont stop until they face actual consequences of their actions :(
Holy shit that's dystopian. Hope you weren't injured by the coffee.
How do people get so fucked up they just attack random people with violence...
On the anti diet story,
My partner is a Dr. and usually works with bariatric patients. She will be the first to speak up if someone ever stigmatizes body weight, but her job has become increasingly complicated recently. Her patients usually around 400 or 500 Lbs are now pushing 600 and even 750. The facilities usually built for larger patients aren't keeping up. Just recently she had to coordinate with a nearby zoo that had an MRI big enough for her patient. Not only that but she has to coordinate with myltiple departments as it usually takes 8 to 9 people to move these patients and mobilize them. This breaks her heart because her patients are people and the facilities she has been given do not help them feel that way.
Phil... we need talk. I usually watch this show when I wake up so I start my day informed in the best way.
And do i get the news? Yes I do but I also randomly get you giving me (all of us) a pep talk and telling me (us) I am deserving of love...
I havent felt this good in a long while.
Now im sitting here crying happy tears in the morning.
Thank you, you beautiful bastard. ❤
Last year the monkey videos were taking over shorts. No matter how many times I reported to UA-cam, they didn't get taken down at the time. These videos were graphic and some even had deceased monkeys.
I'm glad someone was finally held accountable.
how far do you have to scroll to find this stuff even? I hear people talking about seeing horrible stuff on Twitter also but Ive yet to encounter it. Maybe im just lucky
@@danthesluper I'm not on twitter so I can't speak to that, but it's a significant problem on UA-cam. The algorithm will eventually drop it in the recommended videos of anyone regularly looking at animal content, and youtube Does. Not. Care.
@danthesluper I hardly watch shorts. It popped up in between full length videos for me. Right at the top of my youtube landing
@danthesluper probably something to do with their search history. The algorithm is never wrong...
Like I've never seen one and I do plenty of doom scrolling or whatever XD
@zwenkwiel816 it's most likely that they lingered on those types of videos and the algorithm marked the time of reporting and down voting as engagement.
Just today my life was threatened because someone’s debit card declined. I’ve managed in this industry for a good few years and it hasn’t been until recently that I’m having to call emergency services on someone nearly every shift. No one wants to work in food service anymore if you’re getting paid minimum wage to find people OD’d in the bathroom every day.
Wow, as someone in a service job you should have more sympathy for those who OD. I’ve lost loved ones to OD and you sound heartless.
@smears6039 how.... does one working in the service industry even REMOTELY coincide with having/not having sympathy for someone who OD's? Genuinely curious.
@@smears6039Just sounds like finding people OD’d daily is not a fun experience? Do you think they should be happy to find people in that state on the daily? How are they being heartless in any way

@smears6039 it's not the servers' fault that you didn't help your friend enough before they OD'd
PHIL!! Your sponsorship with zocdoc encouraged me to make that damn appointment that i’ve been putting off for a while now. I was actually watching your Tuesday video, today, while getting ready for that appointment.. so thank you!! I am now a veteran as of March 2024 so I was clueless about where to even begin my hunt for a NEW doctor with my NEW insurance and my NEW health issues (thanks to the military).

The first story made me so sick what horrible information I would love to be able to forget such a horrible thing

As someone who has years of customer service experience the general population has zero compassion, rationality, and patience. I wish people would defend workers when people dehumanize workers
Edit: This post is on next episode recap
Our species really shouldnt be allowed outside without a guardian.
I think that people should all have to work at least one six month stint at a customer service job. It wouldn't fix the problem, but some damn perspective on how people are mistreating customer service workers would do wonders.
@@Nebafyer_DandD Sorry to slightly disagree with you here, but honestly? Six months is /NOT/ enough of a wake-up call. Folks need a year -- /MINIMUM/. Make sure they get a chance to work during peak stressful holidays and such. If that wouldn't give them enough of a wake-up call, I don't know what would.
[EDIT]: For context, I'm 35 and have probably about 18+ years of cumulative customer service experience -- mainly in food service and grocery retail hell.
@@Nebafyer_DandD No, one year. They need to experience all the holiday seasons.
@@yfneccentric7033think most would complain after a month of no weekends off tbh. This year i have to use 11 of my 28 days holiday on weddings, add in birthdays and shit and a hospitality’s holiday means no personal time off
Man, I was so moved by your personal experience with body shaming. I am so glad you decided to take care of it. I am constantly struggling and procrastinating. We love you Phil!
My fav part of today’s show: @6:45 when the editor adds in a lil note on the screen saying how much they needed Phil’s words of self compassion ❤❤😁. I laughed so hard because I felt the same way
Ugh, I feel for Howard Vernon. Some people get coupon madness, as best I can guess. I've worked retail and there are people who will lose their mind if you give them a discount or a coupon they didn't bring themselves. I remember one woman going off on a coworker after she received the store coupon, saying things like, "Do you think I'm too poor to pay?" No, it was our policy to give you the discount so you don't have to try to find the coupon on our terrible and useless website. It was wild that this person wanted to spend $10 extra just to prove they could. And yeah, I could see some of them being unhinged enough to come back with a weapon. Glad Mr. Vernon is safe.
Lmao I can be rich and I'll STILL be using coupons(store and manufacturer) and ibotta and fetch and whatever else...its Sad people think that way.. It's free money 😂😂
My older brother was like that, it never made sense to me... But my mom was a good shopper and learned it all from her growing up
I witnessed someone have a mental health crisis because her total came out to $x.66. She made me manually alter the price, which is just not possible in most shops, nowadays (without management stepping in).
Like, legit, yelling at me, saying that I was trying to curse her. Ma'am, this is a Wendy's. 🤷🏼♀️
That is some wild projection. Being handed a coupon for free money and twisting that into the employee poor shaming you. God damn I never would’ve guessed.
Sounds like Randy Marsh.
As someone who has worked fast food and retail since 14; “if you’re going to do it, do it” is SO VALID. 💀
I like that hearing awful things for years has only made you want what's best for everyone, Phil.
You're one of the good guys.
Hey Phil, about what you mentioned in comment commentary, I thought I should share how much I enjoy your space news coverage. I really appreciate the occasional space news story, my dad loves space but bless him I have no idea what he is talking about most the time. I want to enjoy talking to him about it but most the time its so beyond my brain. Being able to share these videos whenever new space news comes out really helps us get talking about it. We have also recently gone out to go stargazing, which has been so much fun to be able to spend quality time with my dad and get to share his enjoyment. It's not as social as trivia nights, but being able to observe something a ton of other people are seeing makes me feel just so human, as strange as that sounds. So thank you so much!
This stuff is honestly making me feel like I’m in a dystopian nightmare
a lot of news feels like this. i HAVE to disconnect and go outside, otherwise it’s beyond overwhelming
Disconnect, go outside, talk to some normal people you like
Our brains are wired to pay attention to negative things, so we can protect ourselves, fix them, avoid them, etc
Don’t let it overwhelm you!
We are
Regarding the General Mills movement to call the truth about their foods shaming:
I was just explaining to someone tonight how most people don't realize how we are all victims of social engineering to support big money's causes.
There was a time when there were advertisements claiming cigarette smoking was good for you, too.
This is simply the newest, more scientific, approach to get people to believe whatever they want you to believe.
It's gross.
You might like the book ‘Manufacturing Consent’ by Noam Chomsky, it’s all about that concept.
Not just big money, even intelligence services. The CIA actively funds hundreds of journalists and dozens of media organizations, as well as consults Hollywood on its own portrayal with its entertainment advisor. The way we view history through the massive intelligence funding of social sciences in universities etc.
Yeah junk food has been using the tobacco playbook forever. When new York was talking about regulating pop (in the 90s or early 2000s iirc) coke paid prominent naacp organizers to go on campaigns calling them racist. It killed the bill.
I've been ranting way too much in the past few weeks, including a few comments on recent PDS stories, about the fact that the advertising industry and "Marketing of Ideas" is strangling every aspect of life. It's gotten to a point where companies in all industries, from gaming (where I first really recognized it) to schools to cereals, are actively spending more time, money, and effort on marketing their products than they do on creating a valuable product. They preach "brand loyalty" and create all these loyalty and reward programs, but the savings are offset by overall prices going up and product quality going down. Once they believe they've locked in their market, they don't care about the product anymore.
Yes, we are all just helpless victims.
Hey Philip! I'm the woman from the WaPo article! Just wanted to thank you for sharing this important story!! 💖
Speaking of “things you abandon” Phil! Bring back “A Conversation With” it was the ONLY podcast I have ever enjoyed. Your conversations and questions were so insightful and interesting!
It's so depressing that "health at every weight" which is about people being able to get healthcare, and have all their health concerns taken care of, regardless if they are fat or not, got hijacked by a corporate movement. It helped me get care for kidney failure, because other doctors were convinced that edema could only be because I was fat, and not that my kidneys were shutting down. It's also why I got a transplant, because doctors that didn't believe that would have forced me to lose more weight, and the time that would have taken would have made me so sick I wouldn't have been suitable for the surgery anymore. I'm now really healthy and not dead, which I'm pretty happy about.
So glad that you got the help you needed 💕.
glad your better. much love.
I'm really glad you're not dead ^.^ and I mean that genuinely
sounds like you are not taking care of your body and should lose some weight
Same situation here. The movement helped me overcome an eating disorder and learn to advocate for myself in medical situations. Drives me crazy when people take it as justification for binge eating, especially now that I know it’s all corporate manipulation. While personally I don’t like to assign morality to food (good food, bad food, etc) I do pay close attention to the foods that nourish my body and make me feel good physically as well as mentally.
I was really touched by Phil's words about dieting and health. I was diagnosed with PCOS at 28 after 2 decades of weight issues and fad diets. After another year of feeling like garbage I was diagnosed with high blood pressure and an irregular heart beat. I finally changed my life but I'm not "on a diet." I've permanently changed my relationship with food and have had more energy and happiness than I have in years even though I'm still overweight and slowly losing it.
Pcos here too. Your words really touched me. So many of our siblings with it feel like they're doomed. Keep up hope, we'll get to the finish line if we do.
as a diabetic, im on the keto diet...and ive lost a total of 225 lbs....in the last 25 years....i went from 425 to 250 and most of the weight melted off when i started a combo diet of both chemical (ozempic, jardiance, topomax, and basalglar) and the keto diet (fruits, soft veggies, lean meats, etc) and i had to say no to sugar, soda, candy, and and my favorite chips...basically 75% of my carb intake... 😢 i suffer through migraine headaches from this diet but its sooo worth it....and my new body is coming along nicely...one problem....the excess skin weighs 44 extra pounds -.-

There are legitimate concerns about AI stealing content and using likenesses (and other things). But whenever people say things like "AI is taking our jobs" or that it's "assaulting human creativity", I'm reminded of factory workers complaining about industrial machinery taking their jobs, and many have certainly complained about modern tools to enhance or modify audio, video or images.
Basically, whenever there's new technology to make something cheaper, easier and more accessible, there are people complaining that it takes away jobs or that it's "fake".
But I prefer things being cheaper, easier and more accessible (which may generally improve quality of life or create new jobs), rather than hanging on to some jobs for the mere sake of hanging on to those jobs.
To add to the Ozempic story, ADHD meds have been having issues for months due to supply chain issues. I haven’t been able to get a new prescription for months. I now have to ration drugs which are vital for me at work.
What makes it worse is that they have no idea when it will be back in stock.
As a Brit, I have to say to that BK worker now gets an honorary UK citizenship. If I ever meat you, I'm buying you a beer. That stone-faced, IDGAF energy is enough to make me stand from my wheelchair and sing God Save The Queen. Gotta respect it.
I can't believe Phil brought food to class and didn't bring enough to share!
I had a script analysis teacher in drama school who had a really strict rule about not having food in class unless you had enough to share. And yet, when discussing a play that mentioned ice cream floats he was not amused when we came back from a break with all the ingredients to make everyone in the class floats. He was actually annoyed, regardless of how much we offered to share!
@@TeeganLee i had a math teacher who allowed me to snack on clementines because they smelled good. Soon I was bringing three or four extra to share with classmates. And pretty soon other students were bringing them, too.
100% then he does the horrific story first to distract us! i see you Phil... 👁👁!

Currently dealing with gestational diabetes, and am really understanding how hard of a swing in the opposite direction that diet culture has gone. Many people think anti-diet culture means eat boatloads of whatever you want, and the amount of shame I've gotten for counting carbs and turning down food that could be harmful to me is exhausting. I'm embarrassed to eat in front of people when the only way to get them off my case is to disclose that I'm monitoring a health condition. That's problematic in itself because not everyone has to have a health issue to not over-indulge. SO MANY people do not know the difference between being on a diet and having healthy nutrition, and I can see how companies stand to benefit from the average person not understanding that the nutrition label is there to help you enjoy all types of food mindfully.
Just realized that I haven't missed an episode of this show since grade 8 over 10 years ago. Love ya face Phil!
"Global monkey torture network" is 4 words that I never thought I would hear in the same sentence.
The company calling food warnings of high salt, sugar, fat, etc. “shaming” is beyond dangerous and selfish. I have people in my family that cannot eat foods high in salt, or they could die. Yet another instance of a company showing all they care about is themself. Disgusting.
Companies have always profited off of our aversion, fear, and hatred of the idea of being fat, and this has led to lots of deaths too. I'm not at all surprised that they are pulling this crap with the warnings on the content of food but at times I feel like it is so hopeless. They have done a good job, whether it is on purpose or not, of making it a lose - lose situation for people.
People believing it is even more alarming.
It’s the kind of skeevy advertising and representation that I wish the government actually paid attention to and dealt with. They’re friggin predators, these companies.
Like of course the motives here are questionable but don't they already have to put their ingredients on the package? Like how much salt or sugar is in there.
Cuz I think part of this issue is just customers being uneducated about food/ too lazy to care.
I mean if you're on a low salt diet you'll probably pick up what's good and bad pretty quickly if you make the effort. Not sure warning labels (where companies will find every loophole) are the answer here.
Like we have a whole bunch of "healthy food" labels over here and while it's not all total bullshit a lot of its driven by the industry (like some labels are only on Unilever products or at a certain supermarket)
They're gonna try to game the system no matter what...
@@zwenkwiel816 yes, there's supposed to be a nutrition label on everything, so an extra label probably isn't going to be that much of a help to people with those needs, but that isn't really my issue here. My issue is their attitude and them pretending to care about those people when really all they care about is themselves; placing their image above people's actual health. I'm not surprised at all by this of course, since when has a big company ever cared about anybody but themself? But it still disgusts me nonetheless to see
My undergrad is public health, and throughout that I wrote a lot about food systems as they relate to rural communities. I’m pissed that processed food companies, the same ones who helped create the obesity/poverty correlation, are co-opting the idea of food choice shaming. IMO it should be a conversation about how many of us don’t HAVE choice, because of the addictive properties and economic stranglehold these corporations have on our most vulnerable populations. I just 🤬
So I live in a town with an amazon fresh. I don’t go often but it’s the only grocery in my area open after 8pm. My biggest issue is how often my receipt is wrong. The last time I went I got charged for croissants I didn’t even touch. Luckily I was able to dispute it but we always have to heavily scrutinize receipts (when we receive them hours later). For example we’ve been charged for 24 oz cereal box when we only grabbed a 16 oz. Or in store the price is on sale for $3.50 and then we’d get charged $5.99. I could go on and on. To the point where I only go if I’m just buying a handful of items and I take pictures of all the prices before leaving.
I’m absolutely horrified by that monkey story! I don’t know how that undercover reporter kept it together. I would have broken down so quickly. I’m grateful that they were able to get that clip and help bring this to an end.
Its just absolutely disgusting. True evil
Where there is money there is no end. New people will just fill the positions.
That first story is absolutely horrific!! Over the last 13 years or so of watching the PDS, that's probably the most disturbing story I've ever seen you open with. I have no words. Unbelievably disturbing.
'Body Neutrality' - Cheers Phil, I've never heard that term before, but that is EXACTLY my views *functionality VS vanity* ❤
I rarely encounter a story that makes me so sick to my stomach I have to instantly skip it, but the first one today did it. Kudos to you for reporting on it, because I wouldn't be able to even look into it enough to talk about it. Some people are just... monsters.
I was poor growing up and couldn't be picky of what I ate, most affordable foods are usually not necessarily the healthiest and tend to be fatty in content; I was also an emotional eater due to my depression, being poor did add to the dark cloud looming over my head. I used to be over 250 pounds at my heaviest, and I am now 142 pounds at my lowest. I didn't have to go on a diet, I just finally was able to afford a living, and as such eat things that were better for me and eat less since I was not as down as before. Money doesn't always make you happy, but boy is it hard to be happy without it.
I'm pretty sure the original meaning behind "no bad foods" or the concept of food shaming was exactly this; that low income folks often don't have access, monetarily or geographically, to healthy foods and it's shitty to shame them for that when its a systematic failing more than a personal one. I've also seen it come up fairly reasonably in regards to young and/or autistic kids refusing to eat anything but particular junk foods. When it is literally junk food or no food, then yeah, junk food is the better option. And generally having shame around food is unhealthy and a barrier to improving your diet, but that doesn't mean all food is equal. It annoys me so much when reasonable ideas get co-opted and all the nuance goes straight out the window making them no longer reasonable.
@@TeeganLeepreach it!
Tbh, fat is not the big issue in modern western diet. It's the carbs and sugars that are jam packed in everything. The body can only process a certain amount of fat (limited by the bile from the gall bladder). If one eats more, it just comes out the other end.
@TeeganLee Curious you mentioned that since I am in the spectrum, I was picky about eating vegetables and fruits almost my entire childhood. I was around mostly latinos in my life, we latinos are can be very blunt when speaking and older adults even more so, always telling me to not eat so much junk because i was too fat was not helpful. Actually, looking back, it just made me want to eat more because it made me sad to hear it so often, and being an emotional eater it just made me drown my sadness with food.
as a principle, i have to believe in rehabilitative justice over retributive. the monkey story makes that core belief a difficult one, absolutely disgusting.

As someone who lives in Virginia I resent the "he lives in Virginia, as you can tell by the flag in the background" because it is sadly true. Worst part is, its not even just in the country. You'll see those flags in Virginia Beach, Richmond (sometimes), and Northern Virginia. Shit's wack.
So if I may ask, I've considered moving to northern Virginia when I've mostly only known maui hawaii (and Santa Monica for two years). Is it a bad idea? Also...I'm white married to an Indian man
What hurts most is knowing when they're wrong and it's not Virginia, it's like Montana or Idaho. Not much feels more insidious than seeing that "heritage" in a part of the continental US that could not be more removed from it.
I grew up in Northern Virginia near the Tysons area, I really don’t remember seeing that flag or mentality in the area. Granted I haven’t lived there for 10 years and I’m now in Maryland. But Northern Virginia doesn’t really have the same mentality as Southern Virginia. Not sure if that helps very much but there’s my two cents as a NOVA born.
@@LipSyncLoveryeah, real bad idea. Don’t move there

The food industry is WILD! I also had someone get angry at me for giving them a discount. Luckily they didn't pull a gun on me but I did get yelled at and cussed at for 15 minutes. All for trying to save them money. People are crazy and unstable!
"Scan and collect" has been a thing in Finland for almost two years. It makes shopping pretty easy, because you can collect items straight in to your backpack.
The worst thing about the General Mills Post executive is that they are knowingly saying that while not targetting just anyone but CHILDREN. That's why it's all colorful cereal with kid friendly advertisements while dosed high in sugar. They are trying to get more unwitting parents to buy these cereal for their kids and get them down a bad habit for their future.
Absolutely. Using bright colours and cutesy language and imagery to entice children should be illegal.
@@frankcaggiano8282 Not exactly illegal but regulated. There are some restrictions on how and when you can market to children.
@@kingofhearts3185 I just think it should be illegal, period. Marketing to children is kind of fucked up in the first place, it's basically using children to blackmail their parents into buying your product when they throw a tantrum in Walmart because mommy didn't buy them whatever toy. Market to the parents who will buy the toys, ya know?
@@frankcaggiano8282 That's a failure of parenting if they still throw tantrums at an age where they can understand ads. Even at 4 I could understand no. We had this discussion over Christmas in my family, that was the concensus.

We just got proper food labels in Brazil recently and it's amazing. The food industry can't just shamelessly slap HEALTHY on the package if they also need to include labels for high fat and high added sugar. A no brainer really but it took years of fighting to get it implemented.
I would LOVE the opportunity to hike with you or even just a group of Phil fans. I was just thinking I'd love to hear about some of the favorite trails you've been on out here. I live in Orange county, so a little south, but there is just so much good hiking out here! We just did the segment of the PCT from Warner springs to Eagle Rock Monday and it was really lovely.

Legit thought same thing. Wouldn't be surprised if shrinkage or theft went up because of it.
The "there is no bad food" debate reminds me of the recent drama between 'think before you sleep' & 'illymation' who claimed "there is no bad food" in one of her videos.
I'm so happy that your news are sectioned, because crying at work while listening to the first news story was not on my list, so I skipped it and it was easy to do so :)
as someone who just recently took a Biological Anthropology class, the monkey story made me so incredibly sad. they are beautiful, intelligent, fascinating creatures and we can learn so much from them. it breaks my heart to think about the pain they were facing
That one gutted me too. I majored in anthropology in college and did a lot of primate studies and observations. They are so intelligent and feel everything we do. To think of these poor animals in pain, fear, and seeing their companions suffer as well is a horror. It's equivalent to torturing a child. Hell is too good for these people.
@@Katiebartl I think the fact they look like human children is probably part of the draw. pdf files and sadists can indulge their power fantasies because people don't get punished that bad for torturing animals/ sharing videos of it. I hope that changes soon. The type of person who does this is not someone I ever want to be part of society again
So are pigs though if you take a good look at them.

I never felt more in danger and less supported than when I worked fast food. I was one of the lucky ones who mainly had to deal with people hitting on me or trying to convert me to Christianity. I did have a random person come up to the window when we were dead and chucked a full cup of ice water at me before driving off. You literally could not pay me enough to return back to that work!

I was apart of the data team that installed all the WAPs and 400 plus cameras in one of Amazon grocery stores in CT. There are cameras in every angle that will record the entire interaction of picking an item and returning the item. So to learn that they had a 1000 people watching is actually insane.
So glad Amazon went for pioneering this ansolute essential instead of raising their pay with inflation and admitting delivery drivers are employees deserving of healthcare. Real good men at this company.

When it comes to the Burger King story, as someone who has worked retail before...it often comes down to racism. When someone you look down on or think less of, gives you a discount it often triggers feelings that they are looking down on you (as if you cannot afford something and need charity from them) which brings out the anger, name calling, and over the top aggression. It really makes no sense but to them it is a major offense.
Think it's more about social class than anything. Way we look at money and status and everything, fast food workers and shit generally don't rate very high. (Which is of course bullshit)
The patience Mr. Howard has is literally inspiring. Gun violence is something I have expected to potentially run into in any public setting. The fact that he can calmly talk about having a gun pulled for such a backwards reason is beyond me. Props to that guy for mindfulness.
😂mindfulness... I'm not going to pretend that I'd be that calm, but when I worked at a burger king, very little would phase me because I was chronically exhausted, mistreated, and underpaid. Not just from customer interactions, either. I once had a coworker seriously threaten to douse me in hot oil because I asked him whether he knocked over my bicycle. You grow numb after a while.
I like your interpretation of patience better than mine lol. Because to me "if you're going to do it, do it" sounds like a man who is officially 10,000% done with all the bullshit in his life.
T-Mobile Park in Seattle has the Amazon Walk Out thing for canned/bottled drinks. Its basically a big alley of fridges like the a grocery store aisle. A guy checks your ID, you scan/swipe your payment method (no cash) at a public transit turn-style type thing and then you can go in and browse this huge selection of beverages, grab what you want, and walk out. Not sure if its open to everyone or just 21+ since most of it was alcohol. And it's obviously not fully automatic since it has attendants at both ends. But it was faster than waiting in line at the checkout for some of the normal beverage stands.
First story reminds me of snuff sites in early internet. Unrestricted internet access for kids is a bad idea. Instead of animals it was people. Friend showed me and I reacted like a normal human and freaked out. No idea what he is doing now.
Right? At 14 years old, on either “kazaa” or “morpheus”(can’t remember which file share site it was), I downloaded something titled “king of porn” one afternoon, and it was a straight-up SNUFF FILM of an Easter European soldier getting his throat cut out(with full sound too)! Seriously couldn’t believe what I was seeing was real, but it definitely was….>_>
I have a coworker that lives part time there and he said it was pretty damn scary. He said book shelfs and any shelving toppled all over his place. The refrigerator shifted from it spot and almost tilted over. He was in the 26 floor of his apartment. 200+ aftershocks every 10-15 minutes after.
You know I can appreciate we’re all concerned for other people but Phil I want to recognize your growth here. In the past ten years you’ve made a huge change you’ve gone from being worried about yourself to having more room for strangers. That says something about your journey good on you :)
Phil: I'm anti diet
Also phil: I actively regulate my intake of food that's bad for me.
Phil, buppy, that's dieting.
And good for you, stay healthy brother.
It's never been a "what you eat" type of thing. They stopped teaching the "what, when, why's of eating." What you eat, when you eat it, how much you eat and what you do after you're done eating are all very important factors in being healthy.
As someone who comes from the other end of the weight spectrum and was severely underweight as a kid and still struggles sometimes to eat enough, I think it’s important to remember that the best diet for each person is gonna differ. In high school I often would skip breakfast because I had to be at school so early in the morning. So I would eat a small chocolate muffin during 1st hour and other students would make comments about my “unhealthy” breakfast. Those muffins were one of the few foods I could eat in the mornings without feeling sick and at the end of the day for me, eating something, even if it was unhealthy was better then not eating anything until our lunch at 1:00. I don’t like what the big food companies are doing trying to jump on this anti diet train and using influencers to lie to us about their products. But we need to stop the judgement around food and bodies. Everyone’s journey is their own and no too journeys will look the same. Instead of following all the trends and influencers. Find out what is best for you and your body.
Agreed. I have a chronic GI illness, am extremely FODMAP intolerant, and have a history of disordered eating resulting from food anxiety. The foods that are considered “healthy” for most people, such as raw fruits and vegetables and whole grains, are too difficult for me to digest. And before anyone accuses me of making excuses to eat junk food, I can’t eat most ready-made foods either because they almost always contain ingredients I can’t have, like onion and garlic. Almost everything I eat I make from scratch or from very basic ingredients. I’m constantly struggling to keep my weight up so I try to eat foods that are calorie-dense. It’s triggering to say the least to see conversations around “healthy” eating constantly centered on weight loss. I’d like to see more recognition that what is considered “healthy” is very individual and dependent on your circumstances, and that there is no definition of “healthy” food that fits everyone. “Food shaming” is just as bad and counterproductive as body shaming imo.
@@stephaniek8284 I also have chronic GI illness, it can be so hard not being able to process food that are healthy for many people. I have had a hard time not being embarrassed when I can't have the salad at a nice event. Learning about others having similar issues is really helpful.
I take Concerta for adhd. I skipped breakfast and lunch all four years of high school. The only exception was toony Tuesdays with friends. Then I'd eat a huge supper and snack a few hours before bed. I wasn't underweight , but my diet was probably terrible in retrospect. I can't believe I managed to live like that. Everyone's different. Gotta make the effort to figure out what works for you.
The part about Amazon reminded me of the automatic toilets they had in North Korea. That they found out that it was just someone behind the wall that flushed for the people in the bathroom. Apparently they didn't even have plumbing there.
The anti-diet story and the previous days story surrounding Ozempic/Wegovy are so frustrating. Cue rant.
I am a plus size woman and got to my worst weight because of 2 poorly treated mental health conditions and an emotionally abusive relationship.
Due to a health scare, I too started to work on my weight (as well as dropped my ex for the energy vampire he was). Part of that was taking care of my mental health which helped me go from 360+ to 320. But now my weight-loss has stalled and it's looking like my only option is to do something like Wegovy, but of course, insurance and supply shortages make it a non-starter. I'm already dealing with the Adderall shortage fight, I don't need another. But hey I guess me preventing going blind is an inconvenience to the drug companies.
And the anti-diet bs food companies are doing are part of the reason I got where I am. The additives in a lot of prepackaged foods have unknown ramifications to the health of the average human, but when your brain literally struggles with impulse control it's easier to grab prepackaged empty calories than go through the effort of cooking an objectively healthy meal that takes just as good.
The anti-diet movement story just frustrates me. As someone with an eating disorder, it’s hard enough as it is just trying to reframe and heal so many problems that diet culture has shoved down our throats for decades. I’ve tried to reach a point where I can just feel comfortable eating without worrying about these false stigmas that continue to be promoted so much in our society. So to know these companies are coming in and wanting to try and fuck up things even more just angers me. It leaves me feeling like I can’t have any trust in any food, which just makes matters feel worst for my eating disorder. Also shame on the dietitians that decided to promote products with these companies, like they’re suppose to be scientists helping people with things like eating disorders challenge and recover from their problems, not add to them. They are suppose to be using science to show how diet culture talk is false, not be leaning into companies that helped promote slanted dialogues that lead to many of the diet culture stigmas we have today.
The main issue with diet culture is people doing fad diets. People will do a fad diet for six months, then give up on it and go back to their usual unhealthy eating habits. Just stop eating so much junk food and you'll be fine.
@@NomastiAfricanWarlord I mean sure fad diets are definitely part of the problem. Labeling food as “junk” food is also kind of part of the problem. Like sure there’s some foods you should not solely rely on for nutrients or over indulge in, and also that doesn’t mean they are junk. Also it’s not always as straight forward for people with EDs depending on the type to simple “not eat so much ‘junk’ food.” For some the “junk” food is the only safe food they have.

That Editor's Note made me a bit emotional. And, as a profoundly disabled viewer (of over 14+ years) - who has watched their body rapidly disintegrate and become severely underweight this past year, against my will this time - the message really hit me on a day I was feeling some body-animosity creep back in. Thank you, Phil. You do make a difference on the tangible side of life. I'm not words, I'm a human. ....who will only *one day* be a skeleton ;);)

When I was a kid I grew up in the time of "If you don't look like you're on heroin you're fat" era. I was in 5th grade getting called fat, ugly and gross by the "skinny" girls. The catch, I wasn't even fat, I was a healthy size for my hight and age. By 7th grade I had eating disorders and was actually smaller than I should be have been for my age. The body desmorphia I have to this day is crazy. I still see myself like I'm 300lbs when I'm only 190lbs
The toxic diet culture has always been a thing, those diet drink milkshake things were everywhere when I was a kid, my mom, my teachers, but they did nothing. It blows my mind just how bad it's gotten.
Dude. If one cannot recognize the chemicals (illegal in Europe) in cereals and processed foods...then...you have to rethink toxic diet.
I watch a lot of TikTok videos that are anti-diet but I had no idea that companies of course, are trying to profit off of it. The videos I watch are about how to make choices to get better nutrition without guilt for foods you might be craving too. It’s really healed my relationship with food and my body. I used to be on my way to an ED and now recovery away from it is something I have to watch out for companies trying to exploit me for
As regards to the anti diet thing: I have always struggled with weight and how I view myself. I also often ate just to feel something when I was younger, but now being in a better place with a bf who truly cares about me and tells me all the time I am good I am starting to get over those feelings. I still have my moments where food feels like the enemy, but not as often anymore.
Regarding the BK story:
